God, Ghosts, and Grannies: Guiding Me Through the Generations

Shirley Booth-Byerly has been addicted to the study of genealogy since childhood; she loves the never-ending battle of discovering subtle links, possibilities, impossibilities, and misconceptions. In God, Ghosts, and Grannies, she tells the story of her family-where they came from and how they settled in South Alabama and Northwest Florida.

Telling the events as literary nonfiction and taking genealogy to a new level, her story shares insights from six generations, six unique individuals, each viewing life from slightly skewed, rose-colored glasses. Shirley melds humor, drama, and a living experience with research, resources, and revelations.

Gods, Ghosts, and Grannies narrates a story of people's lives, their hopes, their dreams, and the realities they faced while struggling, working, and tending their homes; the same homes that convey tranquil memories, laughter, sunshine, and contentment-memories forever gone when no one is left to tell the stories or no one cares to listen.
